When Napoleon III was prince president,

MANLY, particularly wanted an interview on
important business with the president, and
was requested by an aide-de-camp to wait
just long enough to announce the visit The
ambassador did wait, grave and solemn in
countenance, as became one who had come to
talk on matters of state. Five minutes
passed; Lord Normandy grew impatient; he
heard stif1ed laughter in the next room, and,
cautiously raising the hangings that masked
the door, he saw Mrs. Howard Lady Stanley,
the Vicomtesse Pauline de Contades, two or
three other ladies, the Duke of Cambridge
and the prince president himself playing at

man Without word Normandy advanced
on tiptoe, the others keeping silence most
discreetly and tapped the presidential hand.
"Oh! this time I've caught you; its Pauliner'
exclaimed Louis and pulling off the handker-
chief, stood confronted with the ambassador
There was general laugh at the incident,

The best medical writers claim that the
successful remedy for nasal catarrh must
be non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that will by its action, reach all the

history of the effort to treat catarrh du-
ring the past few years obliges us to adj
nit that only one remedy has completely

only son died of fever at Florence, Italy,
Senator Stanford, worn out with watching,
lay asleep in a room adjoining that of the

deal to live for Live for humanity, father. II
